Recent respective form guides

Lincoln City's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Red Imps have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Southport's away form is none too clever either, unbeaten in their last six, consisting of three wins and three draws. The games have constituted a decent return of 12 goals for the Sandgrounders, and 12 goals against.

Lincoln City are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 37 points from 34 matches.

Southport see themselves just below half way in the Blue Square (Conference) Premier, showing a record of 46 points from their 34 games played so far,
